Iran’s Hardliners Fall Into Line Backing Zarif in Nuclear Talks

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif got the backing of one of the biggest critics of his government’s stance in nuclear talks, as the country’s hardliners fall into line with the search for detente.

“All must support the negotiating team to reach our aim” of securing Iran’s nuclear rights, said Saeed Jalili, former presidential candidate and nuclear negotiator. “The nuclear discussions are above and beyond narrow political and factional debates.”
